Breast reduction in Düsseldorf
The most common reasons for a breast reduction are physical complaints caused by breasts that are too large. By removing excess fatty and glandular tissue, the weight of the breast is reduced, which can relieve the back. You can discuss which incision is an option for you in a consultation with our doctors in Düsseldorf.
Breast reduction in Düsseldorf: consultation, surgery and aftercare in one place
Consultation room
Your breast reduction takes place at Klinik am Seestern in Düsseldorf, from the first consultation to the follow-up appointments afterwards. The specialist clinic for plastic and aesthetic surgery has its own operating theatres and patient rooms: you are advised and operated on in the same place where you also spend the nights after the procedure and where you return for aftercare.
The clinic is on the left bank of the Rhine in Lörick, in the Am Seestern business district near the B7. The U77 runs directly from the main station to the Am Seestern stop, and there is free parking on the grounds. This also makes appointments after the operation easy to reach from all over Düsseldorf, from Meerbusch, Neuss and the surrounding area.

A breast reduction is considered mainly for health reasons
In addition to the health aspects, our doctors pay attention to a natural-looking shape of the breast and a scar-sparing incision. Already in the first consultation you discuss with your treating doctor all the questions you have and agree on your ideas.
03
How a breast reduction works at Klinik am Seestern
The surgical breast reduction takes about three hours and is carried out exclusively under general anaesthesia. As with a breast lift, there are different surgical techniques for reducing the breast as gently as possible. Which technique is used depends on your anatomical prerequisites, the medical circumstances and your personal ideas. The aim is a natural-looking shape of the breast that suits the body. After glandular and fatty tissue have been removed, the breast is reshaped, and the nipples are moved to a suitable height and position where necessary.
This is how a breast reduction proceeds at Klinik am Seestern, from the consultation to the end of the rest period:
Step 1
Beforehand
Consultation in Düsseldorf. In the consultation we examine you, discuss all your questions and decide on the incision together. You can book your appointment online.
Step 2
Day of surgery
The procedure. The operation takes about three hours and is carried out under general anaesthesia. Afterwards you usually stay in the clinic for one to two nights.
Step 3
The first few days
Rest. Arm mobility may be restricted; tightness, bruising and pain are possible. The discomfort can usually be relieved with medication and subsides after a few days.
Step 4
After 1 to 2 weeks
Back to everyday life. After one to two weeks you are usually back out among people.
Step 5
Weeks 4 to 6
Support bra, then sport. Until then you wear a support bra, which supports the new shape during healing, and refrain from sport and physical exertion.
Step 6
Until week 8
No sun on the scars. In the first eight weeks after the operation, please refrain from sunbathing and sunbeds.

05
How do the different breast reduction methods work?
Depending on the size and nature of the breast, your treating doctor chooses the suitable surgical technique. The techniques differ essentially in the incision. By removing the excess tissue and, where necessary, repositioning the nipple, the breast is given a new shape. In making the incision, care is taken to keep the scars as small as possible. For the first 4 to 6 weeks, wearing a support bra is necessary in order to support the new shape of the breast during healing.

The incisions compared
Which incision is suitable depends on the size and nature of the breast and on how much tissue is removed.
01I-incisionvertical, “Lollipop”
The incision runs around the areola and vertically down to the inframammary fold. Through it, glandular and fatty tissue are removed, the breast is reshaped and the nipple is moved to a suitable height where necessary.
Scar
around the areola and vertically down to the inframammary fold
To bear in mind
The vertical scar remains the more visible part.
02T-incisionanchor, inverted T
In addition, a horizontal incision runs in the inframammary fold, where the scar is usually covered by the bra. This incision is an option if the breast needs to be clearly reshaped.

What does a breast reduction cost in Düsseldorf? Costs and financing
The costs of a breast reduction depend on the surgical method and your individual starting situation. If you also want, for example, an asymmetry corrected, the procedure becomes more involved and therefore more expensive. After your consultation we will draw up a no-obligation treatment offer for you. Financing is possible through our financing partner; you can find out more under Financing your treatment.
How long is the stay at Klinik am Seestern after a breast reduction?
You can usually leave the clinic after one to two nights.
What accompanying symptoms should I expect after a breast reduction?
In the first few days, arm mobility may be restricted. Tightness, bruising and pain are also possible. The discomfort can usually be relieved with medication and mostly subsides after a few days.
What do I need to bear in mind after a breast reduction?
We recommend that you wear a support bra for the first four to six weeks after the operation and avoid sport and physical exertion. In the first eight weeks after the operation, please refrain from sunbathing and sunbeds.
What effects can a breast reduction have on a later pregnancy and my ability to breastfeed?
A pregnancy is generally possible after a breast reduction. The ability to breastfeed may be restricted under certain circumstances.
Is it necessary to reposition the nipple in a breast reduction?
Because a lot of tissue is usually removed in a breast reduction, repositioning the nipple is mostly recommended so that it suits the new shape of the breast. We will discuss individually in a personal consultation what is an option in your case.
What scars remain after a breast reduction?
The procedure is similar to a breast lift, which is why the scars are similar too. They lie around the areola and, depending on the findings, vertically down to the inframammary fold and in the inframammary fold. We decide together in the consultation which incision is an option for you.

I am a lipoedema and lymphoedema patient and have been trying to find help for about 10 years. Here it was no problem at all! I was called in quickly, was well looked after, my questions were answered very professionally, and I was able to leave the practice in tears of joy! Many thanks for the support so far.

I had my appointment at the practice for a consultation about my lipoedema, and I really want to leave a review even though I haven't had any surgery there yet. The reason is that this was the first time I felt truly taken seriously during an examination of my lipoedema. Dr. Witt was very friendly and professional from the start, and at the same time incredibly pleasant and humane. He took an exceptional amount of time, examined me very thoroughly and answered all my questions in detail. He is incredibly respectful and explains realistically what could be done and how the whole process would work. I found it particularly positive that at no point did a hectic or unpleasant mood arise. You never had the feeling of being “brushed off” or being under time pressure. Instead, the whole atmosphere was calm, relaxed and trusting. Dr. Witt was very committed, photos were taken of the affected areas and every possible treatment was explained in an understandable way. Dr. Witt explained everything in detail, yet never came across as complicated or distant. Although he is an absolute specialist in his field, I felt at all times that I could speak openly and ask any question. It felt more as if I had been a patient there for a long time. It was also particularly important to me that I never felt pushed towards an operation. It is still not at all clear whether I will have my operation at all, and yet I was taken incredibly seriously and treated with respect. That is exactly what built so much trust in me. I would also very much like to mention the lady at reception, Marris, in a positive way. She was super polite, had a very pleasant and calm manner and immediately gave me a good feeling. Although it was almost 5 p.m. and the end of the working day was approaching, she was incredibly friendly to me and did not seem at all annoyed or stressed. It is precisely such little things that make a huge difference to me personally and reinforced my positive overall impression of the practice. The practice itself is also absolutely impressive. It is extremely modern, high-quality and stylishly furnished. You feel more as if you are entering a luxury hotel than a traditional doctor's practice. Everything seems very well thought out, calm and professional. The organisation around the appointment was also excellent. Even before the appointment, communication was always very friendly, quick and professional. Questions were answered immediately and the whole process seemed perfectly organised. I was also allowed to park in the clinic's car park, which was an enormous relief since everything in the area was completely full. Although it was already later in the afternoon, Dr. Witt even personally saw to it that enquiries were made internally about my question regarding costs. Shortly after I had left the practice, I already received all the information by email. That too simply shows how professionally and attentively they work there. Overall, an exceptionally positive experience, of a kind you unfortunately only rarely have in the medical field. Absolutely fabulous.

Very beautiful clinic, wonderful reception and great service. The consultation with the doctor was very comprehensive and she addressed all my questions, which is all you could wish for as a patient / customer. I will definitely have my treatment done here.

Everything was great, just one small remark..... I didn't get any dinner/bread in the evening. The most important thing for me was the operation, or rather everything around it.

I was welcomed and advised incredibly kindly. The consultation takes place on an equal footing and without medical jargon, and what I like best is that they paid attention to what the best treatment is for my concern, and not to what would earn the practice the most money. I took a week to think it over, but actually the decision to choose the clinic was made much sooner.

I had a consultation and felt taken seriously and understood. They took a lot of time for me, and the examination and the conversation were very thorough. In the end, the treatment is too expensive for me, so I won't be able to have it done.

I was welcomed very nicely. The doctor was also very nice and answered all my questions. She also showed understanding that one does not decide straight away.
